I'm using the ModelEditorDEV version, and this is a link to the scripts I have: m Thanks! Finally getting somewhere now. I was able to import a spacemarine with his wargear into 3ds, but his armor texture was all grey, but still something. My hunch is that these scripts just aren't up to date for r...

Never knew DoW2 models would be THIS hard.. Heh yeah, it's not the most mod friendly game. May I ask what version of santos scripts for 3ds you are using? And which version of model editor. For me, Model editor is 0.5 and scripts are 1.1, which was released in 2010. Pretty sure retribution was rele...

Here's mine: m If you have any questions on how the folders and such are structured, let me know. Think you were right, got 2009 and the error does not occur anymore but I'm still getting the no model issue, just gives me some bones and still crashes on loading wargear. Not sure, I haven't used 3DS...

Oh right, it's most optimal to use with 3DS Max 9, although I think people have gotten it to work in 10. Not sure how it works with newer versions. Think you were right, got 2009 and the error does not occur anymore but I'm still getting the no model issue, just gives me some bones and still crashe...

Any way to export the file in a format that's readable for these programs? You should be able to open it directly in 3DS Max with Santos' 3DS Max Scripts. Not sure what the issue could be. I'd recommend just making a separate .module file to act as a mod and then configure it to line up with the ar...

Update: Apparently I can load some wargear, though some have textures and some don't, but never a unit model. Often times, if you open a model, the original texture file paths will still be part of the model, so you have to update the texture files paths in the materials tab. Makes sense, but the m...

You haven't extracted the model files from the game archives? You can't access the models if they're still packaged in the archive files. So I put the extracted files into my data folder and it pops up in the model editor's open function, can navigate to the .models and open, but then I still get t...

You haven't extracted the model files from the game archives? You can't access the models if they're still packaged in the archive files. I read the readme and extracted the required files, said something along the lines of art/defaults, shaders, config etc. Supposedly I'm to put these in a "m...

Could you go through the process of what exactly you've done so far? So far I've downloaded Santos tools, installed it but got said error.. so then I found a "later" version which had the DEV ending, still same errors. The programs I have on hand are SGA reader 2, 3DSMax and santos tools 2.

The folder I linked should be placed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dawn of War II - Retribution\Tools\SantosTools2\ folder. If it's in the main Retribution folder, it won't work. Sorry for the huge necro, but I couldn't find anyone else knowledgeable about this topic. I basic...
